The AddictingGames Showdown: Vote For Your Favorite Games!

Friday, June 12th, 2009

AddictingGames wants to give a shout out to some of our most awesome games. And we like the idea of being on television. So, for the first time ever, we’re honoring the greatest in online games with The AddictingGames Showdown, airing Saturday June 27th on Nickelodeon.

The AddictingGames team has been working hard: cooking up cool categories, like “Best Performance by a Monkey” and “Greatest Escape Game.” And then we had to go through more than 3,000 contenders to select the real over-achiever games.

This is where you come in. We have ten categories and four nominees in each category. You, dear gamers, will determine the winners. What do the winners get? Are you kidding? Fame, respect, adoration and bragging rights. What game wouldn’t be proud to win?

Play the nominated games and vote for your favorite in each category. Is it Porta Potty? Escape the Car? Moto Rush 2? Dance Monkey Dance? We’ll count votes from now through June 27, and announce the winners on TV! Check out this great video which is also airing on Nickelodeon now!
